VA - Jangle Rock Bonanza Vol. 01 + Vol. 02 + Vol. 03 (7 x CD's)
Jangle pop (sometimes conflated with "college rock") is popular music that emphasizes trebly, ringing guitars (usually 12-string electrics) and 1960s-style pop melodies. It was pioneered by the Searchers and the Everly Brothers in the 1950s and 1960s and popularized by the Beatles and the Byrds in the mid-1960s. Guitarists commonly employed the Rickenbacker 360/12, which created a clear, ringing sound that could not be reproduced with other popular models such as the Fender Telecaster or Gibson Les Paul. The term "jangle pop" is derived from the lyric "In the jingle jangle morning, I'll come following you" from the Byrds' 1965 rendition of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man", as well as the chiming sound of its 12-string electric guitar. Even though many subsequent bands drew hugely from the Byrds, they did not fit into the folk-rock continuum as the Byrds did. Groups such as the Who (in their early mod years), the Beach Boys, the Hollies and Paul Revere & the Raiders also incorporated 12-string Rickenbacker's. Folk rock artists Simon and Garfunkel crossed over into jangle pop by adding 12-string guitars to their music, which helped launch their commercial success. From then and into the 1970s, jangle pop saw a crossover with other subgenres, including power pop artists like Raspberries and Big Star who blurred the line between the two styles.
Rickenbacker guitars were expensive and rare, but could create a clear, ringing sound that could not be reproduced with the "twangier" Telecaster or the "fatter, less sharp" sound of the Les Paul. After seeing the Beatles' 1964 film A Hard Day's Night, the Byrds modeled their sound on the Beatles and prominently featured a Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar in many of their recordings.
Here are 3 Volumes of my favorite Jangle Rock songs.
The first two Volumes (2 x 2CD sets) includes tracks that are jangly guitar sounds not exclusively from Rickenbacker guitars.
The 3rd Volume (3 x CD's) are jangly rock tracks whose sound is made exclusively from Rickenbacker guitars.
Hope you enjoy these great jangle indie rock songs.
